Killing Time is a sequence of dreamlike moments that creates a film-noir-style mood. The low light scenes, sounds and special effects contribute in building a tense and suspenseful atmosphere. The filming was inspired by the dark and surreal films of David Lynch such as Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and Lost Highway.

There were two sets of clips filmed in different locations. The first set was filmed in London which when I received I responded to by filming a set of clips of my own in Italy.
My own filming had to be sympathetic to the other clips and so the decision was made to work in black and white for artistic reason and location compatibility. I had to adapt an artistic vision that would make both sets of clips work aesthetically. This was my first experience at both acting and directing in one of my projects.

Editing and post production was a very important part of this project because it was key in turning these clips into a stylish black and white film.
The use of sound created another dimension for the film. Both music and sound effects increased the tension and the suspense. Using overlays helped to connect both sets of clips, helping to create a dialogue between them. For example, the scene in which both characters peer outside through the windows and where both characters appear to be preparing for something.

This film was created out of nothing other than wanting to make a noir-style-film. It was a beneficial project with which I gained more resourcefulness and creative thinking. I improved my ability of building a sequence just from the footage I had.
